Whoa. My initial reaction is that the two devices and the interfaces look STRIKINGLY similar. However, being unfamiliar with the LG offering and its features, I will reserve judgement.
True. Apple here boasts more than just phone: they boast specifically OSX compatibility or more precisely independence from established software chain.
I guess that most phone's design is dictated by what they use: Symbian, Palm OS, Windows Mobile or Linux. Apple wanted to avoid that dependency and made its own platform.
Well, how would it play out - we are to see. But knowing Apple I expect that they would easily hit top 10 of most usable phones.
Also notice, that mobile phone interface is well established. And shaking up well established standards - with clean refreshed design - is what Apple is best known for.
